Scorpion Control in Orlando, FL

Orlando’s warm weather is great for pool days and backyard dinners, but it also keeps scorpions busy for most of the year. The one Central Florida homeowners find most often is the Hentz striped scorpion, a small, light brown scorpion that likes to hide in garages, closets, and mulch beds. A sting hurts, and while most healthy adults won’t need a doctor, it can be more serious for young kids, pets, and older people. Brooks Pest Solutions offers eco-friendly scorpion pest control throughout Orlando, based on where scorpions hide and how they get inside.

We serve Orlando, FL and the surrounding Central Florida area with scorpion treatment plans built around your home’s garage, wall voids, and landscaping conditions.

Which Scorpion We Treat in Orlando

The Hentz striped scorpion is the most common scorpion in Florida, including the Orlando area. It’s a small, light brown scorpion, generally the smallest of Florida’s scorpion species, and while its sting is painful, it isn’t dangerous for most healthy adults. Despite its small size, this species is a good climber and can show up high off the ground, including inside wall voids and gaps higher up in the house.

Why Scorpions Present a Challenge in Orlando

Scorpions often wander indoors while hunting other pests like spiders or cockroaches, and an Orlando home’s wall voids, garage, and closets are ideal hiding spots. As small, agile pests, Hentz striped scorpions can easily sneak in through cracks in walls, gaps under doors, or windows that don’t seal well. Central Florida’s warm, humid climate keeps this species active across most of the year, without the kind of hard freeze that would slow activity in a colder region.

Landscaping common throughout Orlando, including mulch beds, stacked pavers, and woodpiles, gives scorpions plenty of outdoor hiding spots close to the house, and they can move from there into the house, especially during extended dry or hot stretches.

Facts About Scorpions Every Orlando Resident Should Know

Knowing Hentz striped scorpion habits helps explain why it turns up where it does around Orlando homes.

• The Hentz striped scorpion is the smallest and most common scorpion species in Florida. Despite its small size, its sting is still painful, though it isn’t dangerous for most healthy adults.
• This species is a good climber. Unlike scorpions that stay on the ground, Hentz striped scorpions can be found high off the ground, including inside wall voids and gaps higher up in the house.
• Scorpions glow under a blacklight. A blacklight pointed at a dark yard or garage at night will make a scorpion glow, one of the best ways to find one without getting too close.
• Scorpions can survive many DIY treatment attempts. They tuck themselves into tiny cracks, which makes them one of the hardest pests to get rid of without a pro.
• They hunt other household pests. Scorpions eat bugs and spiders, so seeing them can mean you have another pest problem too.
• Mulch beds and woodpiles provide outdoor hiding spots close to the home. These landscaping features common throughout Orlando give scorpions a place to wait before moving inside.

Why Scorpion Removal Matters for Orlando Properties

Scorpions create risks throughout Orlando that go beyond an occasional sting.

Stings can be more serious for children, pets, and older adults. Most healthy adults just get pain and swelling, but a sting can be worse for young kids, pets, or older family members.

Garages and closets can host scorpions without anyone noticing. Because these spaces see limited daily activity, scorpions can settle in before anyone notices.

Scorpions can be hard to get rid of without a pro. Because they hide in tight cracks, DIY sprays often miss where they really are.

Signs are easy to miss. Dark, crusty droppings and old shed skins can show up long before you see a live scorpion.

Landscaping close to the home increases exposure. Mulch, pavers, and woodpiles positioned right against a house give scorpions an easy, short path indoors.

A scorpion sighting can point to a bigger pest problem. Because scorpions eat bugs and spiders, finding one can mean other pests are already nearby.

Signs You Have a Scorpion Problem

• Seeing a live or dead scorpion in or around your home
• Small, dark, crusty droppings
• Old skins left behind as scorpions grow
• Scorpions glowing under a blacklight in the yard, garage, or wall voids
• Cracks, gaps, or unsealed windows that could be providing entry
• Increased insect or spider activity that may be attracting scorpions

If you’re noticing any of these signs around your Orlando home, our team can check things out through a scorpion inspection and treatment consultation.

Our Eco-Friendly Scorpion Control Process

Brooks Pest Solutions uses an eco-friendly approach to scorpion control that targets the Hentz striped scorpion at its actual hiding spots.

Step 1: Full Property Inspection. We survey your Orlando home for scorpion activity, checking garages, closets, wall voids, and landscaping close to the structure.

Step 2: Eco-Friendly Treatment. We apply low-toxicity, eco-friendly products focused on areas with confirmed activity. Treatment covers both the interior and exterior of the property using general pest products such as sprays and granules. We recommend general tidiness ahead of the visit, and stepping outside for about an hour or until the product has dried.

Step 3: Prevention and Monitoring Guidance. We identify cracks, gaps, and landscaping conditions that make a property attractive to scorpions and give you simple tips to lower the risk.

Step 4: Ongoing Monthly or Bi-Monthly Service. Because Orlando’s climate supports year-round scorpion activity, most clients stay on a monthly or bi-monthly service schedule, so our team can come back often and catch new scorpions early.
